Yi'er was slightly surprised, because it was discussed in another ten days, and it was the day when she was going to Dou Mansion to carry Dou Ran into the door, this Dou Ran entered the house, although it was only a concubine, but it was also a serious concubine, plus the lord of Huayang County valued it, and she was specially allowed to buy a dowry.

After listening to Jiang You's words in the carriage yesterday, Yi'er was still a little hesitant about Dou Ran's matter, of course, it didn't mean that she really retreated and didn't want to carry people into the house anymore, she just suddenly remembered that when she talked casually with Yinhe that night, Yinhe said that if she was good for a person, she should follow his wishes. She was weighing whether she had really done something wrong in this matter, but she also knew that this matter was the kiss between the county lord of Huayang and her who went to Dou Mansion to mention to Dou Zhang, which was a sure thing, where was there room for change?

asked people to come in, Dou Ran respectfully saluted Yi'er, and Yi'er said: "It's a family in a few days, Sister Dou doesn't need so much courtesy." ”

Dou Ran got up after being meticulously saluted, and said: "The princess is generous, but the etiquette cannot be abolished, and now it cannot be abolished, and when Dou Ran enters the door in the future, he will not dare to waste it." ”

Yi'er smiled faintly and said, "In ten days, it will be the right day, my sister is not at home to prepare for the dowry, how can she have time to come to me to play." ”

Dou Ranshan smiled and said: "I went to the pearl workshop the day before yesterday and looked for a few pairs of heads, but I inadvertently got a string of coral bracelets. I used to see the princess wear an emerald green satin fox stump pleat, and I thought, if I pair it with this coral bracelet, the red and green complement each other, and it is very compatible. At this moment, I couldn't sit still, and I recklessly passed the house, wanting to send the princess over. I also know that the princess has a noble status, and such a small thing is naturally not eye-catching, but I thought about it, and I didn't have a weight for a while, so I sent it over, just looking at the princess as a gadget, and if I can play with it, it is worth it. ”

As she spoke, she gestured, and the eldest girl who followed her, Linlang, brought a red silk brocade box and handed it over, Qingli came over to take it, opened the lid of the box, and gave it to Yi'er to see.

Yi'er glanced at it lightly, there was indeed a bracelet strung of coral stones in the brocade box, the red was even, it was indeed small and exquisite, she motioned to Qingli to take it, and said, "It's hard for my sister to go to the pearl workshop and still think about me." ”

Dou Ran blinked her eyes, and said with a hint of playfulness: "In the future, the princess will be Dou Ran's mother, and Dou Ran has found some small things that he thinks are quite good, and he should be filial to the princess." ”

This was originally a playful joke, but it just fell into Yi'er's ears, and for no reason it was a burst of panic, Dou Ran obviously realized that something was wrong, hurriedly got up, knelt down on the spot, and said: "Dou Ran has no mouth, lacks the importance of etiquette, says the wrong thing, and hopes that the princess will forgive her sins." ”

Yi'er waved her hand and said, "How can my sister say it is so serious?" Sister, get up, today I received my sister's gift, to the object that is not worthy of the hand to send back to my sister, sister can not be stingy with me, this looks like it's almost noon, my sister stayed for lunch, and then I will lead my sister to the yard to wander around. ”

In fact, in the final analysis, Yi'er doesn't like this kind of socializing, especially in the face of Dou Ran, but it is obvious that there are some things that she can't avoid, and she is afraid that it will be even more so in the future.

In Ningfeng Courtyard, the county lord of Huayang had already known that Dou Ran had come to look for Yi'er to play, and also knew that Yi'er had left for dinner, she was happy in her heart, and she thought that she would also go over to meet people, but then she wanted to simply let their young people play by themselves, and went by themselves, I was afraid that it would make them uncomfortable, so she put out this thought, and similarly, she also let the big kitchen make a few big dishes and let people take them to Yirui Courtyard.

Lunch was more formal, there was a girl waiting at the dinner table, Dou Ranyuan had to come over in person to arrange dishes for Yi'er, and Yi'er was rejected by Yi'er, only saying that she was a guest, and there was no reason to let the guest wait for the host, so she sat down and had lunch with her.

Speaking of this lunch, there was an incident in the middle of the meal, which made Yi'er a little strange, in fact, it was not a big deal, but when the food was served halfway, there was a dish of boiled beef, because the soup in the vegetable basin was still hot when it was served, so there was a little maid who brought the tray and presented it, and then Wu Er personally put the towel on the table, but when he put it down, Wu Er's hand slipped, and the soup splashed out, which burned Wu Er's hand.

Fortunately, the scalding was not serious, and it was not a big deal to let people be drugged on the spot, so it was not a big deal, what made Yi'er a little strange was that Wu'er, this girl has always been careful, how could she make such a simple mistake today?

Naturally, this can only be regarded as a small episode, although Yi'er has doubts in her heart, she doesn't show it much on her face.

After lunch, after another cup of tea, Dou Ran got up to say goodbye, Yi'er thought about it, and took her to Yirui Courtyard, and after asking the county lord of Huayang to say goodbye, she sent people to the Hanging Flower Gate.

Yi'er returned to Yirui Courtyard here, so she asked Wu'er to come over.

This girl obviously didn't come to her senses, she was confused, she looked a little silly and cute, she saluted Yi'er, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

Yi'er asked, "Are your hands better now?" ”

Wu Er said: "The slave's hand is fine, but it has a few blisters and medicine, and it won't hurt anymore." It's just that the slave is reckless and rude, and it hurts the young lady......"

"Isn't it just a bowl of soup? What kind of etiquette is it to say? Yi'er smiled and said, "You have always been safe, and when you are rarely hairy, I saw that you were a little distracted when you served the food, but what happened?" ”

Wu Er bit her lip, frowned, and said, "The slave maid saw Miss Dou by accident at that time, and felt a little familiar, as if she had seen her before, so she was a little distracted. ”

Yi'er thought that Dou Ran had come to look for her or the county lord of Huayang many times, and it was not strange that Wu Er had seen Dou Ran's face, so she didn't care much, but she never thought that Wu Er's next words made her suddenly startled, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"The slave maid told the young lady before, the slave maid is still in the Xichang Bo Mansion, when she followed Miss Seven, one night she went out of the house with Miss Seven, and met a beautiful young lady on the Mingde Tower, she mentioned Miss Seventh in the conversation, and the tone was very bad, the slave maid never knew who the beautiful young lady was, but just met Miss Dou, they ......"

Yi'er was slightly moved, and said, "You mean that Miss Dou is the person Jiang Mingyu saw that night?" ”

Wu Er nodded and said, "Didn't the slave maid go into the house to add tea at that time?" It can be seen very clearly that the young lady is indeed Miss Dou. ”

Yi'er took a deep breath, Dou Ran and Jiang Mingyu are both one of the four beauties in the capital, but Jiang Mingyu has always had a friendship with Liang Keyi, Lei Qian and others, the head of the four beauties, and played together, as for Dou Ran, she is happy and quiet on weekdays, but she rarely participates in the entertainment of Liang Keyi and others' favorite Feng Ya Poetry Club, and I haven't heard that this person has any friendship with Jiang Mingyu, so it is indeed a little strange that she had a secret meeting with Jiang Mingyu in Mingde Building late at night.

Of course, just meeting in Mingde Building can't explain anything, and what is even more suspicious is that the two also mentioned Yi'er in their conversation, and in Wu'er's original words, the tone was very bad! This can't help but make people suspicious.

Yi'er remembered that in her county lord's mansion, the girl who died Shui Ling, before she died, the girl had revealed that there was a girl next to Miss Gui who instructed her behind her to be called Folding Clothes, because there happened to be a girl next to Liang Keyi who was called Folding Clothes, because at that time, Yi'er once thought that the person who was the mastermind behind the scenes and the person who met Jiang Mingyu on Mingde Tower was Liang Keyi, but now it has been confirmed by Wu'er that the person who had a secret meeting with Jiang Mingyu in Mingde Building is Dou Ran, and then Yi'er suddenly wondered if the noble lady behind Shui Ling would not be Liang Keyi at all, but also Dou Ran?

After thinking about it again, Shui Ling once said that her hammer brother was building the stable of Taifu Temple, the house collapsed, so that he was put on the responsibility of the lawsuit, and was thrown into prison, and finally it was the noble lady who came forward and fished people out, so Shui Ling was convinced of the young lady's ability, so she responded to her words and tried her best to sneak into Yi'er's county lord's mansion. That Dou Ran's father happens to be the Taifu Temple, in charge of everything in the Taifu Temple, and it happened to be the stable of the Taifu Temple, is this an accident or a man-made coincidence?

Wu Er saw Yi'er frowning and thinking deeply, how dare she bother? Just stayed quietly on the side, and after a long time, Yi'er gritted her teeth, looked at Wu'er, and said, "Wu'er, do you want to go back to Xichangbo Mansion to have a look?" ”

"Ahh ......" Wu Er was stunned for a moment and said, "Xichangbo Mansion? Miss ......"

Yi'er smiled and said, "Come on, tease you, you go and call your sister Qingli, let the outer courtyard prepare a carriage, I want to go out." ”

Wu Er thought for a moment and said, "Is Miss going to Xichangbo Mansion?" ”

Yi'er nodded and said, "I have to figure this matter out clearly." I'm thinking, instead of me thinking about it alone, why don't I just come to Jiang Mingyu and ask for clarification. ”

Wu Er was a little puzzled and said, "But will Miss Seven tell the truth to Miss?" ”

Yi'er said: "Do you remember the incident that Yi and Jiang Mingyu talked to me about in front of the girl's grave?" ”

Wu Er said: "They want to ask for officials? ”

Yi'er said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you ask for officials or money, as long as they ask for something, I think with my current status, if I promise, they won't doubt it." ”
